Merchants Donate Food Used for Mobile Food Pantries

Sabina Nad, a food bank employee, delivers approximately 16,000 pounds of nutritious food each week to many sites around West Alabama including several of the Tuscaloosa Housing Authority locations. A majority of the food she delivers is donated by local retailers such as Publix, Sam’s, Walmart and Winn-Dixie. If it were not for Sabina and the food bank’s work, much of this food would be thrown away. Recently the food bank received a grant which allowed it to purchase a used referegerated truck. This new truck completed the food bank’s transportation fleet and gives the food bank a way to transport all of the food without having to turn down donations due to transportation issues. Without the generous foundations and businesses, we simply could not provide the services we offer.
